You are viewing a Radical Volksrod High Boy Hot rod.This 2 time cover car/ goodguys pick VW Hot Rod bug is built of all steel.This Bug was built on a 71 IRS vw pan and the donor body came from a standard 71 VW bug. Now titled and registered as a 1950 Volkswagen roadster. All heater channel rust was removed. New quarter panels installed. The cars lower stance is achieved by adding a 18 gauge steel sheeting panel with ¼ “ lip that is 4" long. This is welded to where the stock running board use to bolt and extends downwards and under, to stiffen the body and lower its look. Smooth flowing corner radius were made from Vw fender corner sections. This look allows the car to achieve a lower stance then it really is! A form on channeling the body so to say. All front inner fender areas were smoothed and filled and the middle section above the beam was removed and a new section built to allow the pinched nose section to drift inward for the new sleeker rounded nose section that follows the lines of the stock hood. Much better then just cutting off the front section and letting the hood hang out over the beam?. Speed grills were hand crafted to add a flair to the front end along with recessed driving lights. Headlight Bars were custom crafted to hide all wiring. LED turn signals were located in the bars below the headlamps for a super clean look. 5 3/4" headlight housings hold Hagen street rods Diamond cut H-4 Headlights. Hood was welded shut for the ultra smooth look and no seams, Access in now through the removable underside dash panels. All vents were removed and filled on the hood as well.Rear Quarter panels were smoothed out and the upper body line moved straight back. The quarter panel extended to meet the new lower side rocker panel. The rear section of the fender wells were achieved by using the outer most section of a few beetle fenders, then the apron was shortened and new metal work added to achieve the rounded and pinched rear section.( Hence the High-boy look ) The rear fender area above the tire is crafted from 4 beetle front fender sections turned left to right and cut and welded in place . All sections in the rear wheel wells were then capped off with 18 gauge steel to smooth out all the areas in the new wheel well for that super clean look.Doors have Suicide door pin safety locks with LED indicator lights mounted in the power window switch boxes let you know when the doors are in lock mode. Doors a triggered via a driver remote key fob, there are 2 Red micro push buttons located below the dash to trigger the doors from the inside. A hidden back up entry bottom allows door excess when the power windows are closed, or you do not have the Fob on you.The removable Carson top, is constructed out of tubing and sheeted in aluminum panels.

My family has grown, and we need to sell it to buy a bigger Hot rod that will fit all the stuff we need to bring along with us on trips. Hate to sell this radical fun to toy, but to small for the growing family now. Time to move on to something new. Have lots of $$$ invested in this one.Accepting all offers! needs to go!!!!
